"Comcast Admits Purposely Disrupting Some Internet Traffic
Company Said Any Disruption Was Temporary, Intended To Help

NEW YORK -- Comcast Corporation is acknowledging that it was "delaying" some subscriber Internet traffic.
The Philadelphia-based company said any roadblocks it puts up are temporary and intended to improve surfing for other users.
The statement was a response to an Associated Press report last week that detailed how the nation's largest cable company was interfering with file sharing by some of its Internet subscribers.
The AP also found that Comcast's computers masqueraded as those of its users to interrupt file-sharing connections.
Internet watchdog groups call Comcast's actions an example of the kind of abuse that could be curbed with a law requiring Internet providers to treat all traffic equally, which has largely been the case historically."

Seems like not only P2P users may affected. When alot of users are using their internet connection, everyone may be throttled? Hmmm....
